The NIV Essentials Study Bible (NESB) provides readers with an opportunity to explore the Bible from a number of perspectives. The NESB include many of the best features of six previously published study bibles: – NIV Archaeological Study Bible– The Essential Bible Companion– The Great Rescue Bible– NIV Quest Study Bible– NIV Student Bible (a bible I used daily for several years)– NIV Study Bible (a bible I regularly use and widely recommend)

The NESB editors and layout specialists included some of the best articles, footnotes, sidebars, and study aids selected from the six predecessors.

I enthusiastically recommend the NESB to readers who appreciate a large amount of resources in one volume; the NESB has a great deal to offer readers who want to dig deeper without feeling overwhelmed.

I am happy to commend the hardcover version, but I am interested in reading reviewers who detail how effectively the text and various resources transfer into digital volumes.
